An advanced install means that you want to control your file system layout and potentially use more mount points and/or some block devices. I went through this process because I wanted to install [glusterFS](https://www.gluster.org/) on my Pi(s) so that I can share a replicated file system with more than 1 Pi. I needed this because I wanted to use [Docker Swarm](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/) (where your docker containers can float between Pis) and glusterFS provides the consistent persistent storage for those containers. And since glusterFS provides redundancy options, it means I can take a Pi offline (or in case it dies) and my BBS will start on another Pi.
To do this install, I modified the Raspbian image, so that it wouldn't resize the root file system after a reboot.
To do this install, I modified the Raspbian image, so that it wouldn't resize the root file system after a reboot. You can achieve this by removing `init=/usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize.sh` in cmdline.txt (on the boot partition) - it should be at the end of the line.

After the system boots, you can resize your partitions as you would like, but:
* Dont change the first partition at all, it is your boot partition
* Dont make the second partition any smaller than what it is. You can make it larger, and after you have done so, on the next reboot use `resize2fs` to adjust the filesystem size.
You can use the rest of your diskspace as partition 3 onwards.
Here is what mine looks like:
```
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 59.6 GiB, 64021856256 bytes, 125042688 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x1376769f

Now you can setup [Mystic BBS](http://www.mysticbbs.com/), [MBSE BBS](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mbsebbs) or your favourite BBS software, or follow [my Docker installation](/2018/09/02/docker) if you want to run your BBS’s in docker.
